wow. in a matter of a year…george and i have been able to further our careers, george is on the verge of owning a home, i started school, we lowered our debts, slept….alot, spent more time with family, we started the blog to fill the void, i’ve managed to drive more than i’ve ever driven in a year’s time without much work to be done on the car, but just not with george =((
.
but yet all of this has only been a distraction from thinking about some of the greatest years of our lives…when we saw eachother everyday (sometimes more happily than others), we were able to see our friends both new and old, when george would sleep on that little ass couch, seeing huan pull up in one of his three s14s, that feeling of a motor starting after hours of having no clue what’s wrong, kristian (…that’s all), eating wawa whenever we pleased, going to work so tired i would stare at my screen for hours just thinking about having energy to go back that night, burgos keeping us in check, all the cars and motors that came in broke and left fixed, ankur’s memory maker, finally finishing betty with a gangster cage, 1j, and proving to ourselves (and for no one else) that we could really do it, if only steve angerman was a stock i’d be a millionaire!, the jokes and even more jokes that left us all laughing (“I SWEAR TO GOD! I’LL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN!” -burgos) then finally cleaning up the shop, packing it in, and going home for the last night…
.
while i know we lost a piece of ourselves when we closed, i’m greatful for everything the shop did (and meant) for us and even more greatful for all the help we had from everyone, including our closest friends that stuck with us at our worst. i’m glad we get to chill more now and i’d like that to keep going forever withouth us all fading away in the typical stand by me kinda way.
.
as for cars? my biggest hope is that george or me or whoever owns a nice piece of property real soon that will bring back an all new, private and secure powerzamcam 3.0…with space for our cars, tools, a lift, and a chance to continue the greatest bondmaker in our lives.
.
…but for now, we’ll continue this distraction we call adulthood until we’re able to spend quality time with the one thing that keeps us at peace.
